Maybe I just don't like the event-after-event philosophy Joe Q has been so successful with--and I think twice before spending an extra buck on a lot of those books that don't seem great to me. All of the Marvel books I read right now (Cap, FF, etc) all are not bogged down in DR territory. Just don't enjoy reading the rest right now.

no it is that a bunch of books a forced to acknowledge a story and then there is no story, it just goes on until the next part of the story happens and then there is no movement... event - status quo - nothing happens - event - status quo- nothing happens, rinse and repeat.

I've got to agree. I'm getting a bit burnt out on it. Unfortunately, while they keep helping to sell books, I don't see it changing.

Although, one of my favorite books, Angengers:Initiative has been arguably the most tied into all these events.
